Strike is here to redefine the way you move. After 200 years of high fees and pointless jargon, it’s time for a change. That’s why we’re changing what it means to be an estate agent. We bring together local expertise and technology to make moving easy. And free.
Selling your home for free is at the heart of what
we do. We work differently than traditional estate agents. We use technology to be more effective and don’t have expensive high street branches, so we can pass the savings onto you.
We recommend useful services from our partners along the way — and if you choose one of these optional services, our partner pays us a referral fee. And if you don’t choose to use them, we’ll still sell your home for free. No pressure, no awkwardness, just a fantastic, free service.

Terrible experience! I truly regret paying Strike £699. It's been a disaster from the start. I'm now having to list my property with another agent so that's £699 down the drain. They don't answer the phone or call don't call you back - If even had people hang up on me. ... Read Full Review

Avoid at all costs If I could give them a zero I would. They are not transparent at all. If you pay it is only for 6 months and then they request more money or take property off the market, I asked them to see proof of my premium listing and facebook advertising, they just ignorned me. ...

If I could give a zero I would.

Avoid avoid avoid. This company is a joke. They say they will “send an email”, “call you back”, “speak to a manager” but nothing gets done. We are just at the beginning of the process and we have had to call them about 5 times just this week as the negotiator that was appointed to us after selling ... Read Full Review
